What do you think of these names? Lucas is DP's suggestion, Theo is mine. Which do you prefer? If neither any suggestions please? Thanks Smile Smile

Theo is faddy and footbally.

jaggythistle · 16/06/2013 20:21

Lucas. (sorry! )

Rtfairy · 16/06/2013 21:41

Looks like Lucas is the overall favourite. I do like it but just started thinking about Theo recently. Wouldn't be short for Theodore would just be Theo on bc. Luca is also very nice but sounds Italian to me and I am not.

Lucas is great, I have come across a few Theo's at school but no Lucas's. I'm also a believer in giving children full names, not shortened ones because it gives them the option of using a more 'formal' name at work, if they want to.

bugsybill · 16/06/2013 22:34

Both are nice. Make you decision based on how it goes with your middle name and surname.

kanx1976 · 16/06/2013 22:47

Lucas is a good portuguese / brazilian name... Theo is also a great name.
